I think that if Pangolin were to produce "beginner" software aimed at the hobbyist, with an interface similar to the existing software, you'd do a good job of both reaching a new market and getting people used to the "Pangolin Way" (so they buy the real stuff when they can afford it). I think we're seeing the beginnings of a major expansion in the hobby-laser field due to the advent of cheap lasers and cheap galvos, both from China. It's now possible to spend $300 on galvos, $265 on a laser, and $100 on a parallel port DAC to have a 15K-capable 100mW 532nm green system running Popelscan -- where before the galvos were $1000, the laser similarly pricey, and Pangolin the only serious game in town. The proliferation in green and souped-up green pointers is bringing tons of interest in the high-power laser field which used to be a rather limited domain. I suspect that Pangolin would easily take over the field if they brought the Flashback in with some show-authoring software (such as you seem to already have for live shows) for under $500. The 128mb of storage and extra intensity channel would be entirely unnecessary -- perhaps even the blue channel could be dropped.
